		<description>I&#039;m with the group of people who find it harder to figure out what not to say. When I had the time, I could write every day, but I outpaced my readers&#039; want to read the sometimes boring stuff I write about.

I&#039;ll spin (a little) your statement about blogging being about therapy: blogging for me has been about finding myself. People trying to find themselves before they start to blog will be stumped, but if we let go of the ideas about what we&#039;re supposed to be writing about, who we&#039;re supposed to be, and such questions that presume we&#039;re not growing, learning, and changing beings, we can actually figure out what we want to say.

And yes, a critical part of therapy is about finding ourselves. So I really haven&#039;t said anything different.

@GirlPie: Seriously, can we get a blog out of you yet? Everytime I see you I want more, and I&#039;ve already told why I don&#039;t like saying &quot;I want more GirlPie.&quot; Don&#039;t blog about whatever you&#039;ve got funk with, but you&#039;ve got a &quot;I want more GirlPie&quot; tribe already. I mean, you&#039;ve got pre-fans, and few of us were that lucky. Quit holding out on us already!:p (But I understand; take your time. We&#039;ll be here when you&#039;re ready.)

		<description>Dear Havi, I had the feeling I can&#039;t write about all the stuff which is going on with me since I am back from India - didn&#039;t know where to start writing. And then, your post inspired me it only one situation came into my mind about which I was able to write. Thank you for your beautiful post, which reminded me of being not theoretical but authentical, even if you are vulnerable. Sandra

		<description>GirlPie, I for one will be very happy if you should ever take the plunge. You&#039;d be fantastic.

I am *so* with Havi on the &quot;free therapy&quot; thing. This post definitely has me vowing to try and get even more of myself into RC. (Mostly that would involve me actually making more time for RC. Always at a premium. But I hang in there.)</description>

		<description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://fluentself.com/images/blog/ducks/Selma_tinyB.png&quot;&gt; @GirlPie - glad to give you a good UGH moment! I guess ...

Anyway, take your time with it. We&#039;ll all be thrilled if/when you give it a go. And we&#039;ll love you just as much even if you never have a blog. *sniff*

@Nathan - She actually twitters up a storm under &lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/TheGirlPie&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;TheGirlPie&lt;/a&gt; and I think there are thousands of us all wondering &quot;who is that masked woman and when can I subscribe to her feed?&quot;. 

Then again, given how incredibly long it took me to make a go of it, I&#039;ll be the last person to pressure anyone else into starting before they&#039;re ready. 

Hey, Mz GirlPie, count us in as your fans even before you start!

But all in good time.</description>

		<description>GirlPie, maybe start with some Twitter action to get your feet wet? I see you writing interesting comments and every time I say, &quot;I want to hear more from GP, but alas, no URL.&quot;</description>

		<description>Yes, Nathan, Sonia -- I too I haven&#039;t ever asked &quot;what do I have to say?&quot; as I was born chatting  (&quot;shut up, she explained&quot; was a mantra in our funny household), but Havi, your idea of hiding behind expertise made a huge GONG! sound in here.  Hmm.  Musta hit something.   

This post accidentally made me think about why I&#039;m sure my field would be too irritating to blog about -- and how there are no experts in my arena -- only wanna-bes and has-beens -- and how it&#039;s all a matter of opinion -- and experience and -- all those other idiots should just shut up -- and -- ! 

Sorry, got me a bit worked up...  this is one reason I don&#039;t blog.
But thanks for the great series -- it&#039;s making me go behind the scenes of the excuses, and look at the real reasons.  UGH.  (And I mean that in a good way...)</description>

		<description>Thanks for the great post. I enjoy your blend of the wise, the clever, and the fun. 

I crave clear, crisp ideas that also blend and flip. Sometimes my talk is - junk - and the reader rightfully declares me a hack. But I want them back. Needfully so. 

Not anymore. I&#039;m inspired. I&#039;ll sprawl myself on the couch once again. Let the passers-by linger and stare or move on and cackle. 

I am only expert - as me. That&#039;ll just have to do.
